A bunch of hodge podge :)

I've been a busy girl, bad thing is I haven't  been busy in the gym but that's going to change starting tomorrow..

For the past two weeks I have been refinishing my bed.. It's an old bed that's probably well over 100 years old and it hadn't been repainted in over 20 years.. It took me two weeks to scrape the paint and another two days of sanding it down and repainting it.. I thought it turned out pretty well despite the fact that I had no idea what I was doing..

This is after about 6 hours of scraping on a very muggy and buggy June Saturday. Luckily a friend lent me his drill with a wire wheel attachment and I was able to make a lot of progress..

Much Better

All Primed and ready to paint, I got some primer on the brick... oops.. I had originally thought about painting it white and I did paint it white but as it was drying on Sunday I decided I didn't like the white so I headed over to Lowes and picked up 5 cans of glossy black spray paint

And Voila.... I'm really loving the black..

 

And Zoe approves as well

 

 

In other news, a few months ago I became a Thirty One Consultant.. I haven't really put my heart and soul into the business because I'm a busy girl with a busy life and well to be honest I kind of joined to get the kit for 99.00 :/ However, on Saturday, my Aunt agreed to host a party for me and I ended up with almost a $1,000 party, which results in a commission check for me at around $225.00.. Not too shabby especially when my Zo Zo has her yearly checkup next month and those aren't cheap... plus I have been indulging in too much retail therapy here lately.. trying to fill a void I guess.. So I guess I will continue to plug along with thirty one for a little while longer.. Besides they give great sales incentives and really spoil their consultants with free product.. Below, is a few pictures from my party last Saturday..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So that's it for today.. I'm working on some new fitness and nutrition goals so stay tuned..
